Chapter 905: Fragrant Lady Race
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Yi’s impression of Yin Ruobing had always been rather good. Back then at the Pegasus Continent’s Sandy Soil City, he was staying in a courtyard which was near Yin Ruobing. He had used the Union of Heaven and Man state to scout her cultivation, and even though Yin Ruobing knew about this, she didn’t send anyone to kill Jiang Yi. It was enough to prove the kindness of this young lady. Had it been other great clan’s young lady, they would already have tried to kill him.
Back then, this Young Lady Ruobing was dancing in the courtyard with her bare feet, and as a result, the courtyard actually bloomed with countless flowers. That scene was still ingrained deeply in Jiang Yi’s mind. In his opinion, a woman who could make hundreds of flowers to bloom would most definitely have a good heart.
Earlier on, when Jiang Yi inquired rudely, Yin Ruobing didn’t get angry and answered his questions without any reservation. She had even reprimanded her servant, greatly increasing Jiang Yi’s impression of her, which also gave him the idea to cooperate with her.
The objective of the cooperation was naturally to obtain the Fire Snake Orchid. He had the Divine Perception and could scout the situation within a thousand-mile radius, allowing him to find that lake easily. Yin Ruobing had brought along ten experts, and it would be very safe to travel with them. Since everyone was looking for the lake, why not cooperate?
Yin Ruobing had yet to recognize him until now, making Jiang Yi rea.s.sured. He had met a few times with Yin Ruobing, and if she didn’t have any suspicion now, she definitely wouldn’t have any in the future.
“Tsk…”
Hearing that Jiang Yi wanted to cooperate, Sister Xing sneered and wanted to mock him; but she immediately shut her mouth when Yin Ruobing looked over. Yin Ruobing then looked at Jiang Yi and said, “This Young Master, how do you want to cooperate? How can you guarantee that you can find that lake?”
No one else knew about his Divine Perception, and Jiang Yi didn’t worry when saying it. “Very simple, my divine senses are very powerful and can scout the radius of one thousand miles. This way, it would greatly increase the probability of finding that lake, isn’t it?”
“A thousand miles? Are you certain?”
Yin Ruobing had a shock while Sister Xing and others revealed a suspicious att.i.tude. Sister Xing had the strength of a peak stage Heaven Monarch, and although she reached this level by comprehending mid-grade dao patterns, her combat strength wasn’t incompetent. It was needless to say that her soul spirit was powerful as she was born in the Nine Thearchs Clans, but she was only able to scout the radius of around ten miles.
Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulder and spoke as though he wasn’t a matter, “It is up to you to believe it or not!”
Yin Ruobing fell silent and lowered her head to consider. Sister Xing at the side was an impetuous person and spoke as she was frustrated, “You have to prove it; otherwise, how can we believe you? Are you able to scout who is behind us?”
Yin Ruobing didn’t speak, and it was obvious she had silently approved of Sister Xing’s question. Jiang Yi locked his eyes on Yin Ruobing and said, “Can you guarantee my safety?”
“I can guarantee it!”
Yin Ruobing nodded and said, “I swear on my status as a Yin Clan’s descendant that I will guarantee the Young Master’s safety.”
“I trust you!”
Looking at Yin Ruobing’s beautiful eyes, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged and released his Divine Perception. In just a moment later, he opened his eyes and said, “Dozens of miles behind you is a group of martial artists. En… they look like people from the s.h.i.+ Clan?”
“Uh?”
Yin Ruobing and the others had an astonished expression, and their eyes lit up immediately after. Yin Ruobing spoke in a frank manner, “Young Master has brilliant skills. Just tell me whatever you need!”
Jiang Yi already had an answer prepared as he replied, “I want a stalk of the Earth Star Lotus and the Fire Snake Orchid. I want you to guarantee my safety. After finding the lake and the spirit herbs—if I want to leave, you cannot obstruct me or hunt me! Along the way when we search for treasures, you are not to plunder the treasures that I find.”
Yin Ruobing let out a faint smile and said, “Deal! The Yin Clan will never go back on their words. Young Master doesn’t have to worry, Ruobing’s reputation on the continent is rather good.”
“Naturally!”
Jiang Yi nodded and stared at Sister Xing and the others before speaking indifferently, “Another thing, your people are not to… mess around with this Young Master as I don’t like women.”
“Bah!”
Sister Xing and the others spat out while having gooseb.u.mps on their bodies. Yin Ruobing’s charming face had turned red, and when she turned her head over, even her ears were red.
“Hehe!”
As he already finished searching this city ruin, Jiang Yi grinned and sat cross-legged to release his Divine Perception again. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. There is a very big city in 500 miles to the northwest. I hope no one searched it yet.”
“Alright!”
Yin Ruobing’s face regained her composure as she shouted out delicately, “Let’s go, Sister Xing will open the path!”
Sister Xing’s body flashed and rushed towards the north. The rest of the people had surrounded Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing in the center. Yin Ruobing was actually not afraid that Jiang Yi might a.s.sa.s.sinate her and simply stood beside him and said, “Young Master, please advance along with Ruobing.”
Buzz!
Sister Xing at the front flashed with yellow light, and her divine s.h.i.+eld actually gradually turned dull yellow in color. It was constantly expanding. It was like a silkworm coc.o.o.n that wrapped her with multiple layers. Her body turned into rainbow light and rushed out the ruin while roaming forward rapidly.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Her dull yellow divine s.h.i.+eld constantly flickered as it was obviously affected by the astral winds at the front. However, Jiang Yi was shocked as her divine s.h.i.+eld merely dimmed a little and nothing else. She was traveling forward in a frenzy, and all the astral winds had been pushed away, clearing a path for everyone to advance.
The nine ladies opened up their divine s.h.i.+elds and guarded by the side of Yin Ruobing and Jiang Yi. Even if there were astral winds that had yet to be repelled, it would still be blocked by these nine ladies and would never have the chance to attack Yin Ruobing and Jiang Yi.
“Is this an earth attribute dao pattern? What star rank is it?” Jiang Yi looked at Sister Xing at the front and asked curiously. This divine s.h.i.+eld’s defense was too powerful, and not even his Fury of Thunder would be able to destroy it, right?
“Hehe, this is not a dao pattern and just a treasure!”
Yin Ruobing explained indifferently, “Sister Xing didn’t comprehend any powerful dao pattern. That is a spirit-connected cardinal treasure and can be used along with the divine s.h.i.+eld, making the defenses rather tough.”
“Now I see!”
Jiang Yi nodded silently. This Sister Xing wasn’t even 30 years old yet. If she could comprehend such a powerful dao pattern, her name would be renowned in the world by now and wouldn’t just be a guard for Yin Ruobing.
Jiang Yi ran and asked curiously again, “Young Lady Yin, wouldn’t even one have their memories wiped after leaving the Purgatory Ruin? How did you know there is such a lake inside here, and that the lake had plenty of spirit herbs?”
“Uh…”
The nine guards all rolled their eyes while Yin Ruobing bitterly smiled and answered, “Young Master, the memories might be wiped out, but… some things can be written down, right? Plenty of the Yin clansmen had entered this place in the past, and naturally, there were some information left behind.”
Jiang Yi had an awkward expression as he rubbed his nose and laughed embarra.s.sedly, “Hehe, I am a little stupid and didn’t think about that. I have made a joke out of myself.”
“Pfff!”
Yin Ruobing scoffed and immediately asked curiously, “What is Young Master’s clan name? Where is your clan located?”
Jiang Yi took a glance at Yin Ruobing and saw that there was no special intention, and it was a casual question. He spoke without hesitation, “My clan name is Bai, and I am Bai Yi. My clan is located in the Heaven State Region and is just an unknown minor clan.”
“Bai Yi?”
Yin Ruobing muttered for a moment while the others didn’t pay any attention. They didn’t have any impression of a major clan name of Bai.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
The peaceful journey was interrupted one hour later as there was a sharp piercing sound that came from the front, and Sister Xing had stopped. She had a tense expression while the other nine ladies immediately drew their weapons. A beautiful white bow appeared in Yin Ruobing’s hand, and she was circulating her essence force and getting ready for combat.
“Eh?”
Jiang Yi noticed a faint fragrance from Yin Ruobing’s body when she circulated her essence force. That fragrance seeped into his lungs and had made him intoxicated, making his body abnormally comfortable. It felt as though he was in a hot spring in the cold winter, and his soul spirit seemed to be gradually growing.
Fragrant Lady Race!
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up and recalled the scene of the dancing Yin Ruobing in Sandy Soil City’s courtyard, where hundreds of flowers had bloomed. He then sniffed the faint fragrance on her body and suddenly realized something. This Yin Ruobing should be of the no.2 race of the top ten divine furnaces, the Fragrant Lady Race!
